This vibrant and captivating chromolithograph, titled "Hurdy Gurdy, from the Musical Instruments series (N82) for Duke brand cigarettes, 1888" takes us back to the enchanting world of late 19th-century America. Created by Schumacher & Ettlinger, this exquisite print showcases a talented female musician playing the hurdy-gurdy with finesse and grace. The rich colors and intricate details bring life to this collectible cigarette card that was once part of Duke brand's iconic series. The Hurdy Gurdy player is depicted in a Victorian setting, her fingers skillfully gliding across the strings of this unique stringed instrument. As she plays, her music fills the air with an undeniable charm. This artwork not only captures a moment in time but also serves as a testament to the cultural significance of music during that era.

Its presence evokes nostalgia for an era long gone while celebrating the enduring power of music. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported to another time - where women like our hurdy-gurdy player defied societal norms by pursuing their passion for music. This print invites us to appreciate both the beauty within art itself and its ability to reflect society's ever-evolving spirit throughout history.
